From Meltdown to Showdown?

Climate change, the hunger for raw materials, and geostrategic interests have once again moved the allocation of sovereignty and exploitation rights in the Arctic back to the foreground. In search of a promising political regime for the Arctic region, Christoph Humrich and Klaus Dieter Wolf compare and evaluate various scenarios for how Arctic governance might be institutionalized. The authors favor a model of integrated multi-level governance and present measures demonstrating how this model could be implemented.
